The Writing Center

The Writing Center offers free services to all USC students in the form of oneto-one consultations and small-group workshops. Our goal is to contribute to the development of better writers, not just better products, and to assist with the skills and processes of critical thinking, drafting, and revising that lead to clearly expressed positions, coherent arguments, and persuasive reasoning.

The Writing Center also offers workshops on a variety of topics. These fiftyminute sessions present an excellent opportunity for students to improve their composition skills as they dynamically interact with each other and a Writing Center consultant in a small-group setting.

We encourage writers to explore, engage with, and expand on their existing beliefs and knowledge.

We challenge writers to articulate their ideas in ways that are appropriate for the purpose and audience.

We show writers effective problem-solving strategies for arriving at answers to their questions.

We do not proofread, but instead help writers understand correct grammar so that they can edit their own work.
